The Abbot Of Mungret.

Lr. Lanigan does not hold some of
the popular op,ni,ns about ST. Nessan
or St. Patrick. He says that it is I'm.
deniatle that st. Nessan was an abbot
and most probably of Mungret, Liner
ick, but that he cannot mark the pre-
else time, He died, the Doctor says, in
552 and therefore could not have been
placed over Mungret by St. Patrick
unless he had lived about 14O years. It
is to be observed, however. that in max
ing st. Patrick's death occur in his
18th year. Lanigan goes against the
joint authority of the Annals of Ulster
and the Annals of the -Four Masters,
who are followed by Ulster, Ware.
Colgan, etc, in assigning the date
A, o. 493 for that event. Lanigan's s
reasoning is very ingenious; he uses
very scant ceremony with O'Halloran,
Archdal), and Ferrar, whom he de-
scribes as nonsencial and ridicuJo Jous,
the two first for stating that the non-
astery Of Mungret existed in the fourth
century, the latter for assigning its
foundation to the year 43333.

Ethat existed, and having had experience
Eamong men of his own color, thought
fhis best policy would be to keep dark
so he thanked the doctor for the privi-
lege, and proceeded very quietly to the
chapel in the basement, the doctor hav-
ing told him that he would send over
two or three boys to serve his mass.
When our friend had left, the doctor
called the servant and told her to send
for boys to serve that mans mass.
"What!" exclaimed the girl, 'is that
colOred man priestf'
eyes, indeed, be is," said the doctor;
she showed one his papers, and l qnes-
toned him. He's all right"
"Oh, glory be to God! Wonders will
never cease. Well, well, what is it you
won't See in America? But you didn't
spake Latin to him, doctor?
Eyes did, aud he speaks Latin very
correctly
So Off she went on her message to the
altar boys. After allowing the man
sufficient time to vest and get on the
altar, her curiosity was SO excl ed she
resolved to hear the mass. She heard
the poor man saving mass so devoutly,
and in tones as sweet and correct as
any priest she had heard in the ''ould
DART" She did not pray much, how
ever, for she kept eyes, mouth and ears
open till the very end Of the mass, and
then hastened back to the house to pre-
pare breakfast for him, and she did it
willingly, after hearing him say mass.
1t is reported this priest is still living
in France, where he received a warm
welcome.

St. Finian

St. Finian was one of the many Irish
saints to whom Britain was indebted
for rescue from paganism, When
a mere youth he journeyed INTO
Wales, where he taught Chris
tianity for thirty years. On his re-
turn to his native land he became
Bishop Of Clonard and there founded a
seminary of sacred learning, the fame
OF which spread far and wide and at
tracted students from all parts of Eu-
rope. He established many other
schools and monasteries, but Clonard
remained the most famous. He was
noted for his remarkable austerity, his
food being always bread and herbs, his
only beverage water, and mis- bed the
bare earth. He died in the year $50.

been said that Home Rule would de-
stroy the integrity OF the Empire, bu1
the objection, he thought, to that state
ment was that it was not true (augh
ter). People spoke OF the Irish as pc
culiar people. Lord Salisbury had done
so (groans). He seemed to think thai
the Latin and English races could gov
ern themselves, but the Irish and the
Hottentots could not do so Qaughter)
This theory, no doubt. was based upon
what Mr.. Parnell said few years age
CHEERS for Mr.. ParnelD. But what was
then said? The Irish complained that
their system of government was bad,
and they asked for local self-govern-
ment, or they said they would endeavor
to bring about separation (hear, hear).
He did not pay much attention to what
was said in the heat and excitement of
a great struggle, but the Irish leaders
had never spoken SO strongly in favor
of separation as the Canadians did, and
when they got Home Rule the cry Of
separation altogether ceased (hear,
hear). The irish were no fools, and
whenever good reform was suggested
they always heard of these dismal
prophecies (hear, hear). But what had
the tolerant Protestants done? Why,
as the effect of the Home Rule strug-
gle they had stained Belfast with the
blood of their fellow wtownsmen, and
the, remembered who urged them to do
it. That very Tory minister who told
them to break into rebellion aud attack
the Catholics rather than to submit to
Home Rule (hear, hear). All this was
done in defence of landlords rights,
which he regarded as tenants wrongs,
and matters of the land, he considered.

of an Irish Parliament, which, perhaps,
would be able to show an example as to
how the land question in England
might properly be dealt with Ia laugh).
Well, they had lost through the pro-
posals of Mr.. Gladstone several MEM
bers of the Liberal party. They had
lost, for instance, MI. Goschen, but
they all knew the attitude he adopted
in reference to the county franchise
Qaughter.) The Liberal and Tory party
alike had admitted that he was wrong
upon that point, and why should he be
right upon the question of Home Rule
(renewed laughter}. Then there was
Lord Hartington--he was the Rip Van
Wrinkle of the party, and would go to
sleep for the next forty years. Then
take MIR. Chamberlain and he would
bring Lord Harrington as a witness,
because whilst Mr. Chamberlain was
denouncing Lord Harrington, Lord
Harrington was complaining of MIR.
Chamberlain as bandit and robber
(hear, hear). Why should they be fools
or idiots, however, il they were agreed
upon only one point (hear, hear). There
was a man, however, he Gid regret to
see severing himself from the Liberal
party, and that was Nh, Bright (cheers).
He was sorry to see that eminent states

Irish through the desert, had shown
them the promised land, and now had
declined to cross the river Ia laugn).
What Mr.. Gladstone wanted to do was
to give to Ireland a good and satisfac-
tory Government {cbeers).

In Canadian public life, writes the Do
minion correspondent of the Boston
Pilot. the Irishnan looms up as prom
inently and creditably as his brother in
other climes, and is invariably found
among those who succeed in mounting
to the topmost rungs Of the ladders of
fame and fortune. No Government
in the Dominion can be found without
one or two representatives OF the Green
Isle being included among it's members.
while some Of the largest enterprises
in the country are either owned OF di-
rected by Irisimen. In literature, art
and the sciences, the ubiquitous race
comes to the front, and the roll Of honor
in each case invariably has inscribed on
it generous quota Of names OF Hiber-
nian origin. True, the record cannot
be compared to the glorious one made
by our brethren in the great republic
south of us; but, among a population
of over dozen times smaller in size
than our powerful neighbor, we Irish
Canadians haye no reason to feel
ashamed Of the progress we have made
in an infant country, the chief draw
back of which is that it lies under the
British flag. Did the flag of the free,
the liberty inspiring Stars and Stripes,
float over us, Erin's sons in this far
Northern latitude would mount to 1iz-
Zier heights Of fame under It's fostering
influence. God speed the day for SUCH

FROM THE END OF THE TRACK.
Everything Progressing Favorably and
Rapid1y--The Average of Five Miles
of Track Day Maintained.

The RIVER PRESS had a pleasant call
Thursday from w. II. Thurston who has
just arrived from the end Of the track.
Mr.. Thurston is a resident and business
man of Bismarck, but has been operating
along the line of the railroad this season.
He left the end Of the track last Saturday
which was then at the second crossing Of
Milk river and less than 100 miles from
Fort Assinniboine.
Mr.. T. says that in the history of rail
road construction there is nothing to com
pare with the work being done on the
Manitoba. They are now laying an aver
age of five miles of track day and on
Saturday last it was expected that the
great record of ten miles in one day would
be made. There is force of 400 men at
the front and following them, surfacing
and ballasting, 600 men are employed The
Western Union telegraph line is complet-
ed as fast as the track is laid and stations
established at every siding.
The road crossed Beaver creek ten times
and at each place a good substantial
bridge was put in At one time there
were ten pile drivers IN operation within a
few miles and in sight of each other. The
end of the track will reach Fort Assinni-
boine before the 1st of September.

cars for the Montana through train, the
Manitoba has ordered eight new coaches
for the short line coaches between the

Remarkable Lariat Practice.

On last Wednesday Capt. Lew Williams,
Captain of the Shonkin round up, was rid
ing over the Shonkin range and on Flat
creek he came across a bunch of eight
large gray wolf pups which we're just
about grown. He did not have either a
rifle or revolver, ,and was armed only with
pocket knife, but he determined to capture
the outfit if he could He was mounted
on splendid horse which he knew pos
sessed good speed and great endurance
and he concluded to use the lass,1. He
succeeded in throwing the rope around
the neclzs of four out of the eight, singly,
as they run. These he choked to death
by putting his horse at high rate Ill
speed and dragging them over the ground.
As fast as one was finished he would sin
gle out another, and give it chase. Four
were caught by the feet and he had more
difficulty in dispatching them, as they
made fight. He had to dismount and fight
them with his pocket knife and rocks
Two Of them were caught by the fore feet.
and as Capt. Williams drew them up close
enough to reach them with the heavy
rocks with which he was trying to kill
them they sprang at him. He was too
quick for them, and by a dexterous twist
of tha lariet he threw them each time on
their backs and planted his foot on their
necks, and stabbed them to death with
his pocket knife. The other two which he
caught by the feet he killed with rocks
Capt. Williams brought the eight sealps
to town, for which he receives a bounty
Of two dollars each. II there is any man

place this season on shares
THE INQUEST
The coroners jury empaneled to enquire
into the cause Of the death Of E. w.
Rodeamenn, at Horace Clark's ranch on
Highwood, returned verdict that his
death was caused from the effects of
strychnia taken by his own hand It was
produced in evidence that the young man
had frequently of late threatened to take
his own life. A letter written by the de-
ceased was found addressed "Dear Sister"
st. Louis, Mo, but having no name or
other address. The letter seemed to have
been written under great mental strain
and was much disconnected; but it an
nounced his intention to take his own life
The body of the unfortunate man was
brought to Benton and inferred in the
cemetery.
